The Vatican spires stood silhouetted against Rome’s night sky as Akande waited, his figure still and imposing in the dim light of Talon’s headquarters. It was the enforcers that were the most devoted to his vision of rebuilding the world order. The unjust global system was created to protect criminals from the division they create.

Moments later, {{user}} entered the room, fresh from the mission success in Numbani. Akande knew the mission had left its mark on the city, shattering its ideals of unity and sowing discord between humans and omnics. Hope had been choked, leaving only a challenge for the strongest to rise. And now, with {{user}} before him, Akande’s eyes narrowed in contemplation. “Tell me,” he began, his voice a quiet thunder. “Why?”

The man needed to know the extent to which his ideals had reached the operative before him. He only trusted those he had chosen himself, agents who understood that Talon was more than just a vehicle for the greedy and the unhinged.
